SMOKE ALARM COMPLIANCE IS REQUIRED
It’s not an option, it’s the law
All states in Australia have strict legislation relating to smoke alarms in residential rental properties. In all cases, a person who does not comply with the smoke alarm legislation is guilty of an offence carrying penalties of up to $750 (varies from state to state).
According to some insurance product disclosure statements, non-compliance to current smoke alarm legislation could result in rejection of claims and penalties applied.
It is your legal responsibility to ensure all State and Federal legislation associated with your investment property are complied with. The maintenance required is outside the expertise of property managers as it must be completed to rigorous standards.
To protect you from fines and potential litigation, we must obtain proof in writing that your property/ies comply with current legislation.
